I always hear people saying how 1920x1080 is a deal breaker. How much worse can 1920x1080 be versus 1920x1200? Is it really that big of a deal?
I have no intention of buying a 22 inch monitor with iPhone 4 PPI. Even 1920x1080 on a 21" monitor is still too high; I'd rather that resolution be on a 24" or so.
Yeah, 1080P is just fine for video and gaming but if you run a lot of desktop window applications I'd take the extra vertical of the 19x12 unit if the price difference was reasonable ~10-20%.
What the only thing you're doing with your PC at home is gaming and watching videos? Obviously you DO use your browser and use other applications as well - and there 120px more vertical space really can't harm.exactly. I don't do any work at home. for work, I really don't give rat's ass about what computer I use.. just need get it over with one way or another![]()

I mean I could live with less, but hey I could also live with 1680x1050 - but why, if I don't have to? Most games work fine with 16:10 too and black bars at the movies I watch.. can deal with that (oh and I don't watch hollywood movies these days, but since most movies for cinema release use a ar other than 16:9, you end up with pan&scan or letterboxing in either case, don't you?)
AFAIK most things aren't resolution independent; when I switched from my 19" 1280x1024 to my 21" 1920x1080, it was really surprising seeing what wasn't. It took quite some getting used to.
